Snaykes and Miscellaneous

Snaykes first...

I found one in my bookshelf (ok, actually, the credit for that find goes to my cat, Oreo), mom found one in her room, and one in the laundry room.
The harmless ring-neck in my bookshelf met an untimely death since we couldn't identify it safely, but the other two, which were also little ring-necks, about four inches long, we released in the upper pasture. There haven't been any more for a while, so perhaps that is all of them.

Miscellaneous

Since we've moved in, I painted the wood paneling (very 70's) in my room white, pulled up the astounding orange and yellow shag carpet, painted the cement, unpacked, created a temporary bookshelf out of four berry boxes (the first snake was wriggling under the duck tape of the bookshelf, trying to escape the cat), and I have almost finished recovering an old comforter.
I'm very happy to have all of my books, furniture, etc, back, and now, if I could only get them arranged just right...
